Dual boot. Ubuntu update removes Debian GRUB.
Dual boot. Ubuntu update removes Debian GRUB.
Hello Debian support,
Last week I installed a few updates to Ubuntu 14.04. It installed the updates and then froze whilst installing Ununtu's grub. After the re-boot, Ubuntu was the only choice of O/S. No sign of Debian.
After a few hours I finally got Debian recovery to reinstall the Grub on the MBR of the SSD.
Some notes.
128GB SSD /dev/sda (GRUB finally reinstalled here)
Partions
60GB Ubuntu /dev/sda1
4GB Ubuntu swap /dev/sda8
54GB Debian 'Jessie' /dev/sda7 (unlocked)
6GB Debian swap /dev/sda6 (unlocked)
GRUB
4GB Debian GRUB /dev/sda5 (will not boot from this)
Ubuntu boot loader is installed here too.
Encrypted partitions
54GB Debian 'Jessie' /dev/mapper/sda7_crypt
6GB Debian swap /dev/mapper/sda6_crypt
TWO QUESTIONS.
1/ Can anybody explain why the Ubuntu update deleted/removed the Debian GRUB?
2/ Is there a Debian approved GRUB boot customizer? I can't find one mentioned anywhere.
Is it possible to resolve this? This would be a pain in the butt, if I had to do this at every Ubuntu update!
Thanks for your help.
Stefan
